As a result, the next meeting process entered the next stage, that is, Emperor Chongzhen was besieged in retaliation after intervening in the hegemony, and it was useless to show the brocade clothes and waist card.

In this matter, Emperor Chongzhen did not think of going according to the normal process, but quickly cut through the chaos, directly announced the human and material evidence, and then issued an order to rebel against the main culprit, that is, Chen Donghai and several other principals and the prefect of Suzhou Prefecture behind them, Tongzhi and other officials punished the nine clans, and the accomplices, that is, the more than 3,000 mobs, were all exiled for 3,000 li, and they were all sent to the grassland and thrown to Hong Chengchou's subordinates to enrich the number of Han people.

Among them, it is worth mentioning that the Suzhou prefect actually does not have the physical evidence of letters, but it can be determined from the confession that he is one of the backstage. Besides, if such a thing happens in Suzhou, the prefect can't escape it. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen was not merciful and did not give mercy outside the law.

With the emperor's will, the captain of the Jinyi Guard and the Dongchang Fan only didn't care what other people thought, they listened to the emperor alone, and immediately executed it.

I have to say that this scene is still very shocking. Nearly 300 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the scene of plotting against the nine clans is really rare. At this moment, the majesty of the imperial power, with human heads, was once again deeply engraved into the bones of these civil and military generals and ordinary people. Especially the older ones, those who had participated in the Suzhou Civil Rebellion before, felt deeply afraid.

If this matter had been changed to the past, it would be estimated that many officials on the stage would have come out to oppose it. They can't control what those people do, a big man like the prefect, if he says to kill, he will kill him, or punish the nine clans, and under the sorrow of the rabbit and the fox, he must try his best to stop it. Because they were sure that if the prefect knew that the emperor was in the house, they would not dare to do so if they borrowed ten thousand guts from him.

But this time, if it weren't for the fast arrival of the Jinyi Guard's cavalry, the emperor would have almost died in this private house. It is said that it was very thrilling at that time, and the mob smashed down the door of the house and rushed in. If such a thing happens, will the emperor reason with you? Will I have the patience to discuss with you in detail, does the prefect have the heart to rebel? Believe it or not, the emperor in a rage directly classified you as a member of the party?

Judging the situation and protecting one's self is also a part of officialdom, so the officials present are as well-behaved as mud bodhisattvas, and no one dares to have an opinion.

With this prestige, Emperor Chongzhen announced several measures after the execution.

First, in the past, the government did not go to the countryside, and the township was autonomous, and there were too many drawbacks, not only did the local tyrants and inferior gentry oppress the township, but even the government did not have the official government, and they dared to reverse black and white and refer to the deer as a horse, and this matter must not be repeated. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen decreed that a thousand households should set up a township head in a listed town, appointed by the government, eight products, and be an official in another place. It is equivalent to setting up another party under the county order. If the number of households is less than 1,000, it will remain the same, and it will still be about long. Whether it is the head of the township or the head of the covenant, they all follow the rules of the township covenant.

This system, to put it bluntly, can be regarded as borrowing the administrative system of later generations. Townships with more than 1,000 households are similar to the concept of townships in later generations; And the township with less than 1,000 households is a village similar to that of later generations. Of course, there are quite a few practical differences. But at least in this way, the government will go to the countryside!

If it is a township chief like Nanxun Town, it is better than the county orders of some inferior counties, which makes many officials feel inspired. I don't know how many people don't care about it, and even Jinshi has it. But if there is an extra layer of officials, there will be more opportunities! Therefore, most people naturally welcome this will.

Of course, of course, there were unpleasant ones. For example, if the local heroes are strong, their interests will be deprived, and there will be no soil emperor to be in the future. Although they can still make waves and take care of the township chief appointed by the imperial court, they are not as good as before after all.

If this decree had been made before, it might have attracted a lot of opposition. After all, it is a change that has not been seen in thousands of years, and conservative people also have it. But now the emperor used his personal experience to tell the people of the world that this system is very necessary. Whoever opposes it does not care about the suffering of the people in the countryside.

Second, it is another very innovative purpose. At the commune level, i.e. in towns with more than 1,000 households, a children's school must be set up. All those who want to become children must attend a children's school for one year and obtain a certificate of completion before they can take the children's examination. As for the cost of attendance, you will pay for it!

If according to Emperor Chongzhen's original intention, it is best to of course be compulsory education, and all children will be concentrated in school to study, not only can read and write, but also carry out ideological education from an early age. However, the reality is greater than the ideal. At present, it is impossible for the imperial court to come up with this money. I had no choice but to use this alternative method for the time being.

The reason why this alternative scheme is used is because if you want to become a child, you are naturally the youngest to read a class. Of course, it is not excluded that those strange people can't be admitted to a child when they are older. In this way, at least in the current situation, the youngest reader with the greatest possibility gets together.

Then in the subjects of the children's school, Emperor Chongzhen also had other plans, that is, to teach him for a year from the beginning of enlightenment, and not to teach students according to their aptitude. In other words, the best choice for children from rich families is to put their children's enlightenment in children's schools, so that they will not waste a year. So in this year, it was the year when Reading Lang was brainwashed when he was the youngest. Let them sing the national anthem, put on the national flag, identify with the concept of the country, and be loyal to the monarch and patriotism.

When the imperial court has more money in the future, on this basis, it can be turned into free schooling, and even subsidize children's families, so that all children can accept this year's reading literacy and brainwashing. If you have any more money, you can go further, and you will be able to gradually start compulsory education anyway.

This solution can be said to be the most cost-effective one. As long as the government gives out a piece of land and requisitions some people to repair the school building, this is basically equivalent to no cost for the government. As for the teacher, you can directly throw the Xiucai from the county school to be a teacher for a period of time, which can be regarded as making the best use of everything.

Of course, this plan is also easy to implement on the basis of the reform of the township covenant system. After all, if it had been before, the government had only reached the county level, and it would have been a bit beyond the reach of such a thing.

The last will, which is also interlinked with the previous will, is used to solve the problems found in Jiangnan this time.
